About Penelope

Penelope Young is passionate about changing the way we think about becoming old.

Be the Age You are in Your Mind - Grow Old the "Young" Way

We each experience three ages:

your chronological age which is the number of years you have been on earth (this time round)
your biological age and that can be younger or older than your chronological age depending on how you’ve looked after yourself
and your psychological age which is the age you always think of yourself and that can be any age you want it to be.

Penelope Young works with individuals who want to make positive changes in their lives and with organizations that want to retain a treasure of knowledge and experience within their workforce.

Most of Penelope’s career has been in project management, facilitation and strategic planning within the public and private sector. She has also managed a career in radio journalism/production and is a qualified recruitment consultant.

Penelope is currently researching and writing a book about ageing. “Magnificent Ageing” is based on interviews with people who are enjoying their later years.
